2018 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway stands as the primary reference point in this corner of Rawlins County, where the High Plains landscape is marked by a network of drainage features like Lambs Draw. This 2018 survey reveals a distinct cultural footprint left by Scandinavian settlers, evidenced by the clustered presence of the Swedish Baptist Cem, Swedish Lutheran Cem, and Covenant Cem. The topographic record is defined by these enduring landmarks situated among a grid of section roads including Co RD Q.5 and Field RD. The transition from earlier agricultural eras is visible in the relationship between these remote burial grounds and the modern highway system, particularly where Highway 36 and Highway 117 intersect near the historic heart of the community.
